Differential expressions of stromal cell-derived factor-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor in the placental bed of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia.

CONCLUSIONS: This study showed decreased expressions of SDF-1α/CXCR4 and VEGF in the third trimester placental bed of pregnancies with PE. This result suggests that decreased expressions of SDF-1α/CXCR4 and VEGF in the placental bed could be associated with the pathogenesis of PE. PMID: 24354491 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
